I don't even know what to say.

You must be so stinking, fricken excited at the new you.

I just kissed you on the screen....lololol!

You gorgeous thing you......

[Paulax 8]

We're getting "gummi" gels, 250 cc's. That's not very big -- I'm only looking to be a small C (I'm down to a small B/big A). Dad (ok, it's weird to say that, but whatever!) really thinks I should go 300 or 325, but I just don't. I want to stay small, just fill them out a little.

yeah, i can see how that would be strange saying. :nervous

i just cannot believe how amazing you look, Julie! i've shown your before/after to my DH and he is just astounded as well.

best of luck to you on your blood work tomorrow. if it's a go, when is the Sx?

[Boo 3]

GO, JULIE!!!

36 is the magic number for blood work!

136 is your magic scale number!!

Goodluck with the bloodwork!!!!

[OH Juli 15]

Good luck with the Boobwork too!

I was wondering about the girls and what you were going to do. Like I have any real business wondering about your boobies, but you know, curiosity is what it is.

Thanks for your candor.

Sounds appropriate since you are a runner.

I'd like that too, just a bit of a filler up.

[JulieNYC 4]

Well, for better or for worse, the bloodwork is done. We'll have the results tomorrow. COME ON 36!!

The scale flickered on 139 this morning before settling back into 141.0. Usually when that happens, I drop within a couple of days. Can't explain it -- maybe my scale has premonitions.

Losingjusme, surgery is December 20th, if I get the "go ahead" (knock wood).

Juli, you're welcome to wonder about my boobs any time -- full disclosure on this forum! I'm quite curious too to see how they're going to turn out myself. haha. Hopefully I'll be getting them next week. CAN'T WAIT.

Julie - fingers crossed for better than 36!

Hey, Julie, how are you feeling?

I think you are almost 5 weeks out now?

Have your incisions healed over?

just phoned my local ps for a consult today. I am waiting for a consult date. :giggle:

[JulieNYC 4]

I'm feeling great, Paulax. Yes, my incisions have been healed over for quite a while, but for one TINY place right in back. It's healed over in that it doesn't bleed, but it's still kind of white and yucky. It's only about the size of a pencil eraser and it doesn't hurt, so it's not a big deal -- I just wish it'd hurry up and scab over. I'll be 5 weeks out on Thurs.

I'm a little more tired than normal, but I actually think that's because I've been low carbing more than because I'm still healing. Might have to quit that. Don't know why I put so much stock in an arbitrary number on the scale. I'm sure I could find a scale somewhere that said I weighed 136!

....I'm a little more tired than normal, but I actually think that's because I've been low carbing more than because I'm still healing. Might have to quit that....

Julie - Make sure you don't over do it. My plastic surgeon specifically told me not to diet for the 6 weeks following my brachioplasty. It's more important that you get the nutrients and fuel that your body needs to repair itself than to get to that arbitrary number on a scale. Take care of yourself.

By the way, you have spectacular muscle definition in your arms and I'm terribly jealous of your collar bone.

[JulieNYC 4]

Yep -- I'm officially off the low carb. I was feeling like crap and couldn't put my all into my workouts. I know it's a great diet for some, but it's not for me. Back to the balanced diet I go....

Did you get your results, did you get your results? LoL Keeping my fingers crossed for above 36!!
